Workforce Partnership Supports
Students + Partners + Educators
What began as a local economic development discussion has strategically evolved into the Workforce Partnership of Shelby County. Private industry founded and funded, local business leaders lead the efforts to strengthen the emerging workforce and sustain Shelby County as a leading employer in the region!
Workforce Readiness Skills
& Experiential Learning
Workforce Partnership brings industry and education together to prepare the emerging workforce. We promote workforce skills training in the classrooms and coordinate career exploration activities that are focused on local, in-demand jobs. Interactive learning is an important piece of our programming and through experiential learning students begin to realize what career they might be best suited for. The 3E program asks students: What’s Your E? By addressing the topic of career pathways earlier in education, students can learn about local careers and education pathways. Our goal is to attract local talent, fill local jobs, and create a thriving workforce.

The program aims to retain local talent and establish them in a direction that can lead to lifelong success.

TESTIMONIAL
“You have a level of independence and freedom that comes with a job. It is worth celebrating. You should feel good about it. I tell you what, more and more Americans recognize when somebody signs a piece of paper that says they that are going to go to work as their plumber or welder or robotics technician or the nurse that might save their lives when they are in the hospital, caring for them or someone they love – celebrating that is just as important as anything.”
